根据PHP时间将选定的“属性”添加到选择框

Question

I am currently using the following PHP code generate a Select Box with different times:

 <?
 for ($x = 28; $x < 81; $x++) {
  if ($x == 48) {
  print "<option selected='selected' value='" . date("H:i:s", mktime(0, $x * 15, 0, 0, 0)) . "'>" . date("g:i a", mktime(0, $x * 15, 0, 0, 0)) . "</option>"; 
  }
   else {
   print "<option value='" . date("H:i:s", mktime(0, $x * 15, 0, 0, 0)) . "'>" . date("g:i a", mktime(0, $x * 15, 0, 0, 0)) . "</option>";
   }
 }
?>

All the times are at 15 minute intervals: 12:00:00 12:15:00 12:30:00 12:45:00 13:00:00 //etc...

What I'd like to know is: How can I given the current time, make the closest time the "selected" time.

For example, if the current PHP time is: 12:32:14, I'd like it to select "12:45 pm."

Any ideas on how to do this?

<?php
$start = '7:00:00';
$end = '20:00:00';
$now = time();
$ts = strtotime($start);
$endTs = strtotime($end);
while ($ts <= $endTs)
{
    $selected = '';
    if ($ts - $now > 0 && $ts - $now <= 60*15)
        $selected = 'selected="selected"';
    $time = date('H:i:s', $ts);
    echo "<option $selected value='$time'>" . date("g:i a", $ts) . "</option>
";
    $ts = strtotime('+15 minutes', $ts);
}
?>
